Do I Need a Permit?
It depends on your location and the specifics of your project. Here's what typically applies across the Treasure Valley.
City of Boise
Typically requires a demolition permit for mobile home removal. The process is straightforward and usually takes about a week. You'll need to show proof of ownership and provide details about the structure.
Meridian
Requires permits for most demolition projects. The city wants to ensure utilities are properly disconnected and the work is done safely. Processing time is usually 5-7 business days.
Nampa
Permit requirements depend on whether the mobile home is in city limits or the county. We'll check with the building department to confirm what's needed for your specific address.
Caldwell
Generally requires demolition permits. The city also wants verification that utilities have been disconnected before demo work begins.
Rural Areas (County Land)
Unincorporated areas often have fewer restrictions. Ada County and Canyon County may not require permits for mobile home demolition, but it's always worth checking.
What the Permit Process Involves
Submit Application
Fill out a demolition permit application with the local building department. This includes property information, structure details, and proof of ownership.
Pay Permit Fee
Permit fees typically run $50 to $200 depending on the city and project size. This is a one-time cost paid to the city or county.
Wait for Approval
Most permits are approved within 5-10 business days. The city may request additional information or clarification before issuing the permit.
Schedule Demolition
Once the permit is issued, we can start work. The permit usually needs to be posted on-site during the demolition.
Final Inspection
Some cities require a final inspection after demolition to confirm the site is clean and utilities are capped properly. We'll coordinate this if needed.
